Losing the Regain - It's Underway!

A pound a week is a good pace. I too am now motivated by being able to get back into a few key clothing items. Some have been added back, but some are going to have to wait...

It's not that I"m a clothes horse or obsessed with fashion at all....but I remember how good it felt to buy those smaller sizes and I know how awful it would feel to go the other way. (That said, I'm thankful for "stretchy pants" these days). On my journey down in sizes I had 2 items I bought again and again in smaller sizes: Lee jeans from Walmart and a certain black dress pant from JC Penney. I ended up in size 6-8 in both. The dress pants won't pull up right now. I never reached my hypothetical goal weight but was exercising a lot, and even had a trainer for a while. So I was looking good even with a scale weight higher than I'd imagined for myself and was super happy with that.

So sorry to hear that your husband passed.

Happy that you are on the right track and seeing progress!

Congrats.

it is possible.

ive lost 21 of 27 of mine so far.

keep pushing forward.

Dawn, it looks like - in this great big world of the internet - we are almost neighbors! I'm in the northern suburbs of Detroit, about 40 min from the Ambassador Bridge. (And also about 40 min. from the bridge to Sarnia now I think about it!)

Have you been around OH for several years? Your screen name rings a bell from when I was here years back (surgery 2009, active here till maybe 2011 on various boards.)

Yes I've been on here since around 2005. I had surgery in 2006. I was very active here, did some posts on the Michigan board, a few on the Rny and main board, very active in the ontario group as well.

also very active on the Facebook boards and was on the Barix board (where I had my surgery in Ypsilanti).

:-) nice to meet you
